GameSpy writes: "There's no doubt that the Castlevania series is among the most persistent franchises in the gaming industry, but with roots going back to the early years of the Nintendo Entertainment System, it hasn't always been the most prolific. Yet the Nintendo GBA and DS have seen the most Castlevania releases since the era of the original NES, so even with such a long history of mostly-awesome games, there's still the possibility of stagnation. Into this critical situation Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is about to be thrust, and it must tread a careful path between offering enough new gameplay twists to maintain interest while still providing a good base of classic 2D platforming mechanics to satisfy longtime fans of the series."
Spiffy:
-Classic 2D platform-jumping gameplay
-New glyph system
Iffy:
-Risk of "classic" gameplay becoming stale over the long haul
Castlevania’s twilight years were some of its best, but they were not enough to avert the dramatic end of the series as we knew and loved it.
Someone should fire to the lowest pit the guy on Konami that thought mobile gaming was the future and destroyed MGS, Castlevania and other franchises in the way.
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are among some of the best Koji Igarashi titles that fans can play while they wait for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night to release on June 18.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Steam reviews are very positive 9/10. I'm going to buy it for Switch though. I want to also play on the go, and at work :D
Damn didnt know Bloodstained just released. Will get it on switch
Yeah I'm REALLY loving what little I've played of it so far and this is coming from someone who hasn't been too impressed with what has been shown of the game, guess metroidvania plays better than they look.
Few game series are as definitive and beloved as Castlevania. Pitting players against Dracula and his unholy forces time and again, it is a staple of the medium of gaming and continues to live on in some way, shape or form after decades of releases. Some entries have been better than others though, so today we've got all 30 ranked from worst to best.
